Our trained grocery store mystery shoppers and retail auditors perform on-site visits to evaluate your store from a real customer's point of view.
Auditors use a custom-built scorecard and mobile retail execution software to capture objective, consistent data on your key performance indicators.
We compile the data into comprehensive reports, providing the retail analytics services you need to make informed, strategic decisions.
Every Nsite program includes client access to a secure dashboard built to help you track in-store execution, spot compliance failures, and connect field data to sales performance — across every store and every region.
Track planogram compliance, staff performance, and on-shelf metrics by store, region, or retail chain. Compare how individual locations execute your merchandising standards, see which markets have the highest out-of-stock rates, and identify which promotional displays are being set correctly.
After each audit cycle, the platform identifies your highest-impact execution gaps — from planogram violations to staff knowledge failures — ranked by their effect on sales and brand compliance across your entire retail footprint.
Type questions like "Which regions have the lowest planogram compliance scores?" or "Where are out-of-stock issues most frequent?" and get instant plain-language answers — no custom report needed.
